A Day Full of Love

 


        Out of all the days in a year, there is this one special day wherein love is in the air and in the hearts of all. That day is Valentine’s Day. During this time, Families get together and spend time together, maybe even host a game night for everyone to enjoy. Friends, on the other hand, may celebrate through group hugs and road trips. Couples plan dates and surprises like romantic getaways, candlelit dinners, cocktails at the bar and whatever comes next. However, this year things are different. Amid the pandemic, people must look for other ways to enjoy and celebrate the day of love.


        Every year, whatever the circumstances the world may be in, people celebrate this day by showing and giving love to the people they care most about. Valentine’s at home may seem boring but with a little creativity, it will sure be as good and memorable as before. It can be as simple as cooking for your family, wearing cute matching outfits, greeting cards or video calls. After all, it’s not just about the material gifts, it’s about remembering and appreciating the people closest to your heart.


        For the record, I have always been excited for Valentine’s day, not because I have a significant other to share it with but because of the thought of love in the hearts of all. Remember, Valentine’s is not just for couples, it is for everyone – family, friends and even yourself. Also a quick reminder that love may be in the air but the Coronavirus can be anywhere, so no to touchy feely and always keep your distance.

The Duterte Regime

September 9, 2020 Dear President, As a concerned youth and citizen of the Philippines, I am writing to address the difficulties and struggles that our nation is experiencing due to the current crisis and to apprise and condemn the missteps and errors occurred amid the global pandemic under your jurisdiction.   As the COVID-19 pandemic started to invade our country, we had high hopes that you would be on top of everything and that you would respond to this situation immediately and efficiently, but sadly, you did not. You did not prioritize the current crisis nor the lives of your people. Instead, you prioritized to silence the dissent of your countrymen by implementing the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the shutdown of ABS-CBN that affected the livelihood of 11,000 Filipino families and the white sand project in Manila Bay that claims to help Filipinos’ mental health.  These actions are not necessarily needed in the midst of a pandemic.  We, Filipinos never wanted militarism nor the shutdo

A Step Towards National Resilience

                       Every year, the Philippines face devastating losses caused by natural disasters including catastrophic typhoons, tremendous earthquakes and other hazards coupled with their associated consequences that have massive impacts on the nation's communities, economy, infrastructure and environment. As of the moment, the Philippines, as well as other countries, continue to battle the challenges and struggles brought by the novel Coronavirus.                   The current COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for the Philippines to devote more effort to anticipatory governance, notably through well-established and cooperative emergency management and reconstruction and development of future-proof policies and legislation that serves both current needs and longer-term aspirations of Filipino citizens.                The transformation of a country toward sustainability and resilience involves many aspects. It is a complex process that deals with prevention, mitigation

Here's to 2021!

            The world welcomed 2020 with positivity and joy but little did we know it would be a year full of uncertainties and surprises, achievements and failures, and everything else no one asked for. Priorities changed, plans got cancelled. Anxieties and negativities prevailed. Despite all those trying times and hardships that everyone faced, I choose to be grateful. Grateful because we survived 2020 and for that, I want all of us to pat ourselves on the back for getting through these tribulations and adversities.           Now, it’s time to turn the page and leave the past well behind. It’s time to let go of bad energy, negative thoughts and whatever habits that hinders us to flourish and grow. Let us all create a space for everything that we desire. We have a fresh start ahead of us, so be ready to grow, heal and upgrade in every area of our life. Together let us be optimistic about the journey that awaits us this 2021. There is no promise that there will be no struggles but we c
